Britt statement adds more confusion

Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt has an explanation for the events in New Jersey over the weekend, but so far New Jersey police say it hasn’t proven to be true.

Police in New Jersey still want to talk to Britt about two incidents — one that resulted in a close friend being stabbed early Sunday morning, another in which a gunshot was fired later. Britt dropped off a man at Jersey City Medical Center then was uncooperative with officers when asked what had happened, police said. Later, Britt was at the scene or had just left the scene when a gunshot was fired at an apartment building, according to police.

A spokesman who asked not to be identified released this statement on Sunday night regarding Britt’s alleged involvement in a weekend incident in New Jersey:

“Kenny was leaving a dinner cooked by his friends’ parents – it was not a house party – when he found his friend, who had left earlier, injured outside. Kenny immediately brought his friend to the hospital and was there with the injured friend’s family for several hours, but was not otherwise involved in the incident. Kenny’s brother was not injured (and wasn’t even there) and Kenny has made himself available to cooperate with the authorities investigation of this matter.”

The Titans, Britt’s agent (Bill Johnson) and the head of Britt’s management team (Lou Taylor) have said they had no involvement in putting together the statement, however. An individual connected to Britt’s management team said the statement was crafted on Britt’s behalf.

And Jersey City Police Capt. Edgar Martinez said on Monday morning police still haven’t talked to Britt and they want to do so. By mid-afternoon, they still wanted to talk to Britt.
